  • Essay / Nuclear War - 766

    The next episodeDo you want to play a game? The famous words muttered by the WOPPER computer in the film War Games. In this film, an amuter hacker looking for cool games almost starts a nuclear war with a few simple maneuvers. Although it is only a film, it highlights how easily one person can start an all-out nuclear war. This movie was made in the 80s, when we weren't relying on the power of computers to control a system and yet we were almost facing all-out nuclear war.

If you have a thousand nuclear weapons, you're not going to target them at military bases, no, you're going to inflict the most damage and that's the civilian population. People innocent of any crime are put to death by a faceless weapon. Subpoint A: Nuclear war is inevitable. The only reason to create a new weapon is to use it, not to sit around collecting dust. History has shown that the moment a new weapon is invented, people line up to use it and demonstrate its effectiveness. The bombs we dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were just a weapon.
